Why Skiing is Better Than Law School

This is what you look like after three days of eating Swiss cheese, chocolate and meusli…

Possibly the most unrealistic looking push-off-the-cliff picture, but check out the background!

Yeah, but law school is fun, too – you get to read cases about people you don’t care about and see how people can write utter bullshit but get away with it because nobody understands what they’re saying! Just think about it – you have more boring things to read than you could ever have dreamt of! You can discuss the placement of a hyphen for three hours! You can have no friends! You can have a favorite spot in the library because you actually tried them all. You can look at all your anthropology-learning, meaning-of-life-pondering, party-going friends and say “Ha! You’re having fun now, but in three and a half years when I get my degree… I will still be more miserable than you!”

Danya – glad I subscribed whiled you were traveling! Loved this. Too true – and highlights why law is better US style, as a second degree, after you get to study the more fun stuff. Maybe do a joint degree with something you really care about over 4 years instead of 3? I do need to get to the university as I have one more paper to submit. Are you there every day? What’s your cell phone number? Stefanie

I bet that ski resort has a lawyer! (it’s a good thing you didn’t actually push Matan off the cliff – or you probably would have met him/her!) . . . and the chocolate company, and the cheese company – and even the muesli company!
